2025 Ram 1500 Pulleys

Idler Pulley: Direct Fit, Thermoplastic, 68.1mm Diameter, w/ Hardware

Gates is a leading manufacturer of Original Equipment (OE) idler pulleys. Gates DriveAlign(R) Idler Pulleys meet or exceed OE specifications. High quality, high strength bearings run cooler and last longer than original bearings. DriveAlign Idler Pulleys are built to last by resisting dirt, salt, and other under-hood contaminants. Designed for use on automobiles and light trucks as locked center tensioning, automatic belt tensioning and idler pulleys.

Product Features:

• Constructed from steel and thermoplastic designed to strict manufacturing tolerances for high durability and quality performance.
• Built to last thanks to superior resistance to dirt, salt, chemicals and other contaminants that can be found under the hood
• Original equipment quality suitable for virtually all domestic or imported vehicles in the current vehicle fleet
• The bearings meet or exceed OE standards with application-specific speed and load requirements, to withstand high temperatures under the hood.
• High-end bearings eliminate bearing noise
• Mounting hardware included for some common applications
• Reliable operation in difficult conditions
